Sooo a couple of weeks ago, I went to New Orleans to see my best friend, Gaby, for Easter. It was such a fun, fun trip! I'm so happy that I was able to go. I ate SOOO much on that trip. I had crawfish DAILY, beignets from the Cafe Dumond...mmmmm yum! For those of you who have never had one, you HAVE to go to the Cafe Dumond in the french quarter to get some! They are unbelievable! I also had a ton of seafood, and for Easter dinner Gaby's grandparents cooked for her family. There was like 25 people there! It was crazy...I WISH my family was that huge!

So of course Gab and I went to the flea market in the French Quarter and did a little shopping. We walked around for quite a bit, got our exercise. While we were there we also went to the Hornets/Mavs game. I was 1 of maybe 6 Dallas fans in total. Oh well, represent! ;) During halftime there was a guy from Vegas who performed with these lifesize dolls attached to these poles and they looked like a choreographed group. It was quite possibly one of the WEIRDEST things I have ever seen! But soooo funny!

It was a blast! I love New Orleans so so much!
Here are a couple of pics from my trip:

The two of us right outside of the flea market!

There was this jazz band of these cute men, just playing their little hearts out! ;)

At breakfast before the game! Mmm La Richlieu's!

Go Mavs!! But, I do have to say that Chris Paul (CP3) is soooo good!

The halftime show! Crazynesss!! There's only one real man...the one in the middle! Can you see him??

I love her. She's my bestie :) :) :)

Anyway, make it a great week ya'll!
We're almost done!!!

So this past weekend I came home to Frisco, or my beloved D-town as I should say.

My high school had their spring musical production and they put on Dream Girls, so I decided to go. They were sooo cute! I was so proud of them!! It was good to go back and see all of their hard work, and I really enjoyed the show too! It was so weird because so many of the kids in the show--I've watched them grow up and have babysat them. I totally felt O-L-D! After the show I was able to catch up with some old friends who I went to high school with. It was a blasty-blast!! :) :)

Last night I went to the movies with my family and we saw Obsessed. It's a new movie with Beyonce and Ali Larter, where this crazy woman stalks Beyonce's husband and family. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty scared and freaked out in some parts. My mom and I were holding onto each other. Ha! I have to say though, that Beyonce did a pretty decent job. I LOVE her. I am soooo excited that she will be in Houston on July 4. I think it would be pretty sweet to goooo ;) Add that to my concert repertoire!

So my flight to Houston leaves tonight at approximately 7:00 pm. I'm seriously praying that it's on time. I hate being at the airports late at night! But overall, I am so so so happy that I came home. It was the perfect little recharge before going into finals! May 7th, will be the best day of Spring because that's when I become a senior!! ;)

Make it a great week ya'll!!

Hello all,

So I am so excited for Easter! I absolutely cannot wait for it! I love any type of holiday really, but Easter signifies Spring and new life and the death and resurrection of Jesus. It gets me all sorts of excited! :)

This week has been good, but it feels a little rushed since we don't have school on Friday. I'm not complaining though! lol. I know that Student Programming Board (SPB) is hosting an Easter Egg hunt this weekend, so you better believe that I will be out there with myouy basket ready to go!

I'm going to New Orleans this weekend to see my bestest bestest bestest friend in the ENTIRE world, Gabrielle. Her entire family is from there and so we're meeting up for Easter. We're gonna go fishing on the bayou, eat beignets at the Cafe Dumond....mmmmmm yum! I will definitely have pictures of that! ;)

I can't believe the end of the year is almost here. I registered for my summer classes and my fall classes and it hit me that I will be a S-E-N-I-O-R! Can you believe that, me?!? A senior?!?! I used to watch everyone grow up and think they were all sooo old. Now I'm sooo old lol. I'm sure younger kids and people from back home look at me the same way that I looked at the others, but I guess I never imagined what my life would be like once I got to my 20's.

But life is good, and God has been so good to me. I am beyond thankful that his mercy and grace has kept me this far, and He still continues to cover me and bless me.

Anyway, I'm off to British Literature II with Dr. Markos...he's such an awesome professor!

Make it a great week!
